TECHNICAL FIELD

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a condensed cyclic compound, and more particularly to an organic light-emitting device including the same.

DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART

Organic light-emitting devices may be self-emission devices. Organic light-emitting devices may produce full-color images. Organic light-emitting devices may have relatively wide viewing angles, relatively high contrast ratios, and relatively short response times, and increased brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics.

Organic light-emitting devices may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate. Organic light-emitting devices may include a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region. Electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, may recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. The excitons may transition from an excited state to a ground state, thus generating light.

Ring A₃ in Formulae 1-1 and 1-2 may be a C₇-C₆₀ aromatic ring or a C₁-C₆₀ heteroaromatic ring. For example, a C₆ aromatic ring (i.e., a benzene) may be excluded from a list of ring A₃. When ring A₃ in Formulae 1-1 and 1-2 is a benzene group, although not limited to a specific theory, a size of a molecular structure may be smaller than a size of a condensed cyclic compound structure represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2. Thus, the dispersion degree of electrons may be relatively low. Therefore, the size of the molecular structure does not contribute to stabilization of a molecular structure.

When the group represented by Formula 2 is linked to the condensed cyclic compound via L₂, the dispersion degree of electrons may be relatively greater than when the group represented by Formula 2 is linked to the condensed cyclic compound not via L₂, therefore, contributing to stabilization of the entire molecular structure. Since the entire molecular structure may become three-dimensional, it is possible to have relatively high non-crystallization and relatively increase film characteristics.

The condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 may be synthesized by using known organic synthesis methods. A synthesis method of the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 may be recognizable by one of ordinary skill in the art in view of the following Examples.

Under an argon atmosphere, 30 mL of a THF solution of 1M methylmagnesium bromide was ice-cooled and added to 90 mL of a THF solution of 8.6 g of Intermediate (I-1) and was then stirred at room temperature for about 5 hours. Ice water was added to the reaction solution. Then, an extraction process was performed thereon with toluene and an organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and a solvent was distilled with reduced pressure. The residue obtained therefrom was purified by silica gel column chromatography, thus preparing 6.3 g (74.9%) of Intermediate (I-2).

Synthesis of Intermediate (I)

0.7 mL of sulfuric acid was added to 70 mL of acetic acid solution of 6.3 g of Intermediate (I-2), and the mixture was stirred at a temperature of 50° C. for about 8 hours. The obtained mixture was cooled to room temperature and was separated by adding toluene and water thereto. A toluene layer was washed with water and a saturated saline solution. Then, the result was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and a solvent was distilled with reduced pressure. The residue obtained therefrom was purified by chromatography, thus preparing 2.1 g (34.6%) of Intermediate (I).

Example 1

An anode was prepared by cutting an ITO glass substrate, on which an ITO layer was deposited to a thickness of 15 Ω/cm² (1,200 Å), to a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.7 mm, ultrasonically cleaning the ITO glass substrate (anode) by using isopropyl alcohol and pure water each for about 5 minutes, and exposing the ITO glass substrate (anode) to UV irradiation for about 30 minutes and ozone to clean the ITO glass substrate (anode). Then, the ITO glass substrate (anode) was loaded into a vacuum deposition apparatus.

Compound HT13 was vacuum-deposited on the ITO glass substrate (anode) to form a hole injection layer having a thickness of about 500 Å, and Compound HT3 was vacuum-deposited on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of about 450 Å.

Compound H1 (host) and Compound FD1 (dopant) were co-deposited on the hole transport layer at a weight ratio of 95:5 to form an emission layer having a thickness of about 300 Å.

Compound ET1 was deposited on the emission layer to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of about 250 Å. LiF was deposited on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer having a thickness of about 50 Å. Al was vacuum-deposited on the electron injection layer to form a cathode having a thickness of about 1,500 Å. Thus, an organic light-emitting device was formed.
